Abstract
This descriptive-correlational research probed the moderating effects of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) on workplace bullying and burnout of Philippine National Police (PNP) uniformed personnel (N=447) of the National Capital Region (NCR) using convenience sampling technique. The survey instruments were composed of self-made socio-demographic profile, Psychological Capital Questionnaire-24 (PCQ-24), Negative Acts Questionnaire Revised (NAQ-R), and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). The findings of the study indicated that most of the participants were male, 22 to 37 years old, married, college graduate, Police Officer 1 (PO1), 1 year and 1 month to 5 years in service, and from Southern Police District. Mean scores of the participants indicate high level of PsyCap, and very low level of workplace bullying and low level of burnout. Also, it was found out that PsyCap was negatively correlated with workplace bullying and burnout, while the latter variables maintained their positive correlations. Moreover, among the dimensions of PsyCap, hope and resilience moderates the relationship between the specific form of bullying and burnout.
